NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 5060, and RTX 5050 GPUs were registered at EEC by one of the major NVIDIA board partners, ZOTAC.
GeForce RTX 5050 Exists, Confirms ZOTAC Registration of the GPU Alongside Several More Upcoming RTX 50 GPUs
NVIDIA's board partner, ZOTAC, has recently registered several of its RTX 50 series GPUs at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The GPUs contain upcoming SKUs like GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, and even 60-class cards such as RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti.
However, this is probably one of the rare sights of a 50-class card and that, too, a desktop variant. Apparently, NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5050 exists, as can be seen from the list, which we thought to be non-existent at least in the desktop lineup, since the RTX 5050 mobile GPU exists, according to some leaks.
The registration date is 12th February 2025, which is very recent. It is evident that the RTX 5050 may be released after some time, probably a few weeks or months after the GeForce RTX 5060 series cards are launched. This is surprising since NVIDIA skipped the GeForce RTX 4050 completely from the desktop Ada lineup while launching it for only the mobile platform.
Even though a Chinese company named Shangke did register an RTX 4050 in 2023, we didn't see the card in the mainstream market. Hopefully, the RTX 5050 can make it on the market as the current GPU market lacks affordable cards. Unlike the 60-class cards that are now retailing for $300+, there seems to be no sub-$300 or sub-$200 GPUs from the latest generation, either from NVIDIA or AMD.
It's likely that the RTX 5050 will be a sub $300 or sub $250 card, but a price tag of below $200 is unlikely. We don't know much about the RTX 5050, but according to some rumors, it's likely to bring 8 GB of VRAM. Furthermore, some reports suggested previously that it will feature GDDR6 memory, which seems unlikely as the RTX 5050 laptop variant is supposedly equipped with GDDR7 memory.
At the moment, the next RTX 50 series card is the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, scheduled to launch on 20 February. It will be followed by the GeForce RTX 5070 on 5 March and the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 in April. The GeForce RTX 5050 may end up on the market in the second half of 2025, but that's just our speculation. Still, it's best to wait for more updates that can confirm the GPU's presence.
